Three and a half stars from me for this quick read of international intrigue. It used to be quite easy to get to Baghdad.

Possibly this is the fact I have a headache talking, but I found this rather bittersweet. It's an interesting spy thriller with a plucky heroine, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I usually enjoy Christie's thrillers--until we hit the moral. There's something about Christie's optimism that if we all just sat down and talked we could figure out world peace that feels a little hard to take right now.
